Apple employees may be in line for some back pay thanks to a California State Supreme Court ruling that says the company has to pay workers at its retail stores for time lost due to mandatory bag and iPhone searches that occurred while they were on the job.

Appleā€™s policies require employees to subject their personal bags to security searches whenever they leave a store, and register any personal Apple devices they bring to work with their store managers. The Court ruled that while during such searches, Apple employees were under the control of the company and entitled to be paid for their time during the searches.
